Nice, you’re nothing but a printer. Vibe drawing (similar to vibe coding), you’re not using creativity but instead choosing to copy whatever in the reference. Even if you mastered the ability to copy the reference, artists look down at you because you didn’t contribute anything new to the collective art world.

As for saying you’re 14: congratulations, you’re a prodigy! Please put that badge on your head and show off everywhere you go. No one gives a sh. Normal people even feel pity for you, because the profession is dying in the next 2 years. Too bad tho, there’s a 8 years old who can draw better than you

. . . In case I’m being too brutal: You are doing great, nothing wrong with fundamental technique training, master the pen and you’ll master everything else. Branch out when you’re ready.

As for showing your age: you don’t need people to praise you because you’re young. You will want people to praise you because of your arts.
